  You might know this as Planet Sub, if you aren't long in the tooth or have hung around Lawrence for eons, but the brand got its start serving hungry KU students. The enterprise since has expanded and the menu has made some additions, but Yello Sub is still making the best damn sandwiches one can find in this area.
  
  Yello Sub (and Planet Sub for that matter) makes their bread on site, fresh every day, and has forever. Gluten free? Uh, no, but I'm sure there is an option for you. I'm down with gluten, and Yello Sub's foundation wouldn't be the same without their bread. One of my favorites is the Green Turkey, a melange of turkey, bacon, cream cheese, and guac - it's a two-napkin adventure, minimum. This visit had me downing a Tuna Bacon Melt, which is tuna salad with bacon and Swiss and is absolutely delightful. I've been all over the menu, but the standards never let me down. Go half or go whole, but be adventuresome and try something you haven't had before, like the Super Hero, Tijuana Taxi, or Crab Cali. Or be vanilla and settle for a ham and cheese or turkey, but either way you will thank yourself.
  
  Pro tip for families: kids eat free with a regular purchase on Sundays. This is a stellar way to indoctrinate your progenies with a local dining institution and save your wallet a few dents. Also, you can use the app or call ahead to save a few minutes and the result is still the same. Expect to spend close to $10 for a half sandwich, chips, & a drink, and that's fairly competitive to chain sandwich shops. But the product difference isn't even close - Yello Sub is to chain shops what sleeping on 1000-count cotton sheets is to sleeping bags. It's that good.
  
  But don't just take my word (or the legions of others who would agree or even augment my sentiments). Stop in and try for yourself.

  This is a great place for a fresh sandwich in a casual environment that feels uniquely home-town.  I like to eat there on Turkey Tuesday to get a discounted turkey club sandwich.  The hand made bread is toasted and warm with my favorite ingredients.  Instead of a number, guests get a playing card to identify themselves with their order.

  I was torn between yellow sub and another place but I ultimately decided on this. When I have a craving for a sandwich I NEED it done the right way. I will say that the staff here when we came in was very nice and they were helpful in the choices. I was confident that I was going to love everything about my sandwich only to be let down.
  
  I got the green turkey, it is like the creamy turkey but it has guacamole. I think that's where I went wrong, the guac was just bad and the cream cheese. Both were lacking in flavor and I couldn't get over the rubbery bacon. The best thing about the sandwich was the bread. The bread was baked very well and it had the right amount of toasty but softness in one. We also opted for the creamy turkey and my husband liked his sandwich and my kids got the pizza boat all were happy.
  
  I have been to Planet sub in the past and enjoyed it and I will give it one more try but I'll for sure be tweaking what I order so that I actually get something that I would want to order again, when I'm really in the mood for a sandwich.
  
  All in all the staff is friendly, things are clean, pricing is good, but the actual sandwich needs help. Will be looking forward to trying this place again for it to live up to previous revi

  Great sub place.  Lots to choose from.  I did the superhero which is like an Italian.  Big sandwich, very good.  My wife loved the tuna.

  I was just passing thru on my way back to KC and wanted to just see KU.  Naturally there should be excellent college town grub, and Yello Sub did not disappoint.  It is huge on the inside and at 130pm I could have brought everyone I lnow and still have seats.
  
  Tijuana Taxi sub for me...the big one.  Way too much to eat but the bread was good, toppings generous, and left happy.  Doubtful I will be back this way again and wish I had more places like this close to where I live.
